So. I've had my Audigy Gamer for damn near forever now. I was uber excited to discover I could use my old daughter card from my Live to output Coax Digital to my new receiver. I was able to watch dvds on my computer and hear them in true surround sound through my reciever. For the longest time though, I couldn't figure out how to get any game to work with surround sound using the Coax-Digital.
I finally figured out that I had to use the analog out from the soundcard (using 3 stereo mini-to-phono cables) to the 6 channel input on my receiver. Doom3 was the incentive to get this working. This seriously sucks though. (the game and the way I get surround sound out of anything but movies)
So, my question is this:
Is there a card in existance that will actually encode the surround sound found in games, WindowsMedia-HD, etc to a true 5.1 format and output it through to my receiver so that it can decode it into 5.1?
Is any of this making sense?
